Comment (by garrett-eclipse):

 I will revoice my concern with suppressing potential status' as providing
 them with '0's gives you an idea as to what potential status' to expect.

 > Thanks @pbiron for the ticket and patch, applying and testing the patch
 works as outlined.
 >
 > I am a bit hesitant of moving forward here as I see Requests being more
 in line with Comments than posts and the Comments list table does display
 the additional status' for Pending, Approved, Spam and Trash.

 > In my eyes displaying all status' is helpful to the user experience as
 it outlines the expected process visually by showing what status buckets
 the requests will need to pass through.

 > I'm marking for 2nd-opinion and also flagging to get some design
 feedback on the UX here. I'm all for consistency so if it's decided to
 suppress empty status labels then we should also address the Comments list
 table or potentially vice versa if displaying them is useful for to the
 user for the interface then resurfacing them on other list tables may be
 the avenue forward.

 That being said following my comment there was design discussion;

 today]https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02S78ZAL/p1593708788256000.
 We're in agreement that the 0 count views should be hidden.

 Maybe @mapk or @pbiron can elaborate on that design decision, or it can be
 re-raised into a design meeting.
